Well It turns out I have pneumonia Thanks Wes for covering tonite-We're dark Wed and Thurs, and the doc assures me all is well for Friday.  It seems that I've been sick a longer time that I realized- By the way I've quit smoking (again LOL)

It was with great sadness I had to tell my Thursday group that I was leaving- The 135 mile one way trip has become too much, and I was able to recommend an much closer qualified caller. Now don't get excited...... I'll still be there till at least the end of May and possibly thru August.........A FUN nite in Santa Maria tonight and sadly intimate.....Oh well

Did Ya MISS ME LOL- I'm alive and mostly well, pneumonia is all gone allergies remain.  We had a hoot at the last Ca. State Convention (By last I mean that California Callers-NOT CUERS- will work at-I guess donating time is a bad idea, one gets lumped in with the riff-raff)  Anyway I needed a weekend off- The Ca. State Council has some great folks and idiots-  Idiots 1 Great Folks 0...........Ask Mrs. Rick about the VIP AFTERPARTY-I've promised to shut up.
It was a hoot having an Afterparty with the Roberts and a gaggle of the performers who brought the crowd to the convention-Callers......screw it......nothing new......I look forward to having the 3rd weekend in April 2011 open to have a weekend with no conflicts (But that's the state weekend..........Till Bankruptcy......say 2010)  I'm off to San Diego this weekend-FUN, and no idiots.

A truly FUN day at Magic Squares in San Diego-I had a BLAST!!!, I also was able to attend (briefly) my 2nd best girl's surprise B-day.  (EGS is 50-Few know her first initial but I do)..........Recent guests at the Hampton Inn were Eric and Dan.N........Recent guests at the Kaaria and Shuping Hotels were me........all in the same week(end).....Friends are great!!........Ask Shauna about her mouse (maybe mice hehehehehe) Yet I must be nice, I got cookies and grilled cheese........ This weekend is EZ- A Party Sat nearby and A2 locally- or just 50 bucks of gas (thats 5 gallons or so eh')......sigh.
